Top-ranked Spartanburg Methodist could move a step closer to a perfect regular season when it hosts Denmark Tech at 4 p.m. today.

SMC (28-0), the only undefeated junior college team in the country, will finish its schedule at home Wednesday against the Limestone junior varsity team. The Pioneers, by way of their Region 10 regular-season title, have already secured a berth in the NJCAA championship tournament, a 24-team, single-elimination event next month in Hutchinson, Kan.

The Pioneers earlier this season won at Denmark Tech, 94-56. SMC was up by 24 at the half and all 15 players on the roster scored by the end. The Region 10 tournament, which will award a second team a berth in the national event, begins March 7 in Walterboro.
